About the Lectureship:
The аĿª½±Hardy Lectureship is named after G.H. Hardy, former President of the Society and De Morgan Medallist. Originally awarded to a distinguished overseas mathematician in odd-numbered years.
The аĿª½±Hardy Lecturer visits the UK for a period of about two weeks, and gives the Hardy Lecture at a Society meeting, normally held in London in July. The аĿª½±Hardy Lecturer also gives at least six other lectures, on different topics, at other venues in the UK; the schedule is decided by the аĿª½±Society, Lectures and Meetings Committee in consultation with the аĿª½±Hardy Lecturer, and is designed to allow as many UK mathematicians as possible to benefit from the аĿª½±Hardy Lecturer's presence in the UK.
Abstract:
Euler flows as universal models for dynamical systems
The dynamics of an inviscid and incompressible fluid flow on a Riemannian manifold is governed by the Euler equations. In this talk we will discuss universality properties of the stationary solutions to the Euler equations. The study of these universality features was suggested by Tao as a novel way to address the problem of global existence for Euler and Navier-Stokes. Universality of the Euler equations for stationary solutions can be proved using a contact mirror which reflects a Beltrami flow as a Reeb vector field. This contact mirror permits the use of advanced geometric techniques such as the h-principle in fluid dynamics.
